A place where algal seems right at home. This place down here is where when I was a boy my families come down here and go swimming. Yes, he's the man who was most present.

Yes, that is a pretty tough act to follow, yet Al Gore has still made his voice heard. And there's an echo here and not just against those limestone cliffs on the Gore family fall. One time when Winston Churchill lost the election as a young man, one of his friends said that Winston, this is a blessing in disguise and he said damn good disguise so that sort of the way I feel about it while I strongly disagree with the court's decision. I accepted, I accept the finality of this outcome.

When I went through that experience in the election of 2000 and the Supreme Court decision. I knew I was going to be fine and I hated the result obviously but I just started looking for other ways I can be of service.

This is the first picture of the Earth from space and often old slideshow once used to convince his colleagues in the house and Senate global warming was environmentally going to thousand six that monkeys like Kim and Oscar-winning documentary an inconvenient truth made in the face of the climate Nobel Peace Prize and right in the political process, face cleaning, stiff criticism from people that cultivating from a fanatic to a fraud when I spoke to my father's funeral I quoted a passage from Scripture. While one to him about whom all men say good to verify that it is completely happy with what you're doing you maybe you may not be working hard enough to break James that we may still fighting for change that slideshow 100 times a year. 16 the 17 hottest years ever measured with answer must have been since the year 2001 courses 2017 to discourage anyone living anywhere on the planet might also sound is even humor the Vatican has made a commitment to be the first carbon neutral nation. Now they have two advantages that are very small and God is on their side on this day lined up, not just a few presentation but to learn how to give it get to go to sleep does not for me because I really have a strong sense that this is what I'm supposed to be doing that makes me want to do more climate leadership training a decade to help spread the word about climate change and to engage those simply doesn't exist. The truth about the climate crisis is still inconvenient to the large carbon polluters so they want to Bob and we even dodged the truth and pretend like it's still a big controversy and I led him to take to the big screen.

Some start and a lot of you and wonder woman high above the melting glaciers.

Those reports of the glacier just exploding with a high return to the streets of Miami Beach found officials trying to raise road levels match the predicted rise in no longer just virtually unanimous scientific community tells us we gotta change now mother natures and the debate every night now on the television news is like a nature hike through the book of Revelation. People who don't want to use the phrase global warming or climate crisis are saying wait a minute sums going on here. That's not right. The film takes place at the Paris climate 196 make US agreed to greenhouse gas and is on hold. The political winds were blowing in Donald Trump's direct fear spent half your life. Politics at the highest level IInd second what you make of this young ministration. So for every day. It's another set of tweets another set of controversies, and they're not getting anything done. His biggest worry was what might be if Mr. Trump kept his campaign promise to pull out of the parasitical stitching visiting him in trouble. Did you find him receptive Mr. Trump to argument. I found him attentive and you can misinterpret that for being receptive, but yes I did think that there was a real chance that he would come to his senses on this June, the United States will withdraw from the Paris climate accord. The president has made this an economic there just isn't room essentially an economy to be sustainable and at the same time provide jobs and a lot of his face. Well, the business community does not believe that out all there are now twice as many jobs in the solar industry is in the coal industry.

Solar jobs are growing 17 times faster than other jobs in the US, 1717 times faster. It's one of the brightest spots in our economic revival never before have the solution. When solar electric technologies and is cheap and readily available, and that has to make your argument easier.

Yet it's true. I look back at where the facts and figures were at 1011 years ago and the curve on solar energy which is beginning to start moving up now it's way up here the entire farm the barn food processing the house all of it runs on 100% renewable energy now. His father, Albert Senior three term US Sen. once grew tobacco on this farm now solar panels Tennessee soil organic fruit and vegetable garden, VP Al Gore second Expo, Al Gore found a path it will still US Pres. comes to those fighting climate change will nonetheless I could not lay this down or put it aside. Even if I wanted those who feel despair should be of good cheer, as the Bible says that I have faith have all hope we are going to win this next his final journey page from our Sunday morning on July 16, 1998. Once again the Kennedy family are stealing itself tonight to deal with tragedy today, John F. Kennedy Jew, his wife and sister-in-law.the crash of a small plate, the only son of assassinated 35th John jumped grew up before the eyes of the Crown Prince George 1995 the sexiest man alive. People magazine young Kennedy was a tabloid dog and his 1996 marriage to Carolyn percent social event sees an amateur pilot JFK Junior took off in a Piper Saratoga July 16 with his wife Carolyn and sister-in-law Lauren set down for Martha's Vineyard plane was last picked up on radar at 939 Friday night some 70 miles for Martha's Vineyard, consistent with an imminent final approach to the Vineyard Haven. There the plane then disappeared from radar. No emergency declaration was ever made five days late. Searchers found the wreckage of the plane and the remains of his three passengers on the ocean bottom about 8 miles off the coast of bodies were cremated and her ashes scattered at sea private mass was held for Kennedy and his wife with Pres. and Mrs. Clinton among the invited guests had dashing young JFK Junior. So many of us remember now just 56 years old photographs from a lost executive under photographs is offering a heartbreaking glimpse into an unforgivable part of our past trip read will uncovered again.

Reason schemes childhood wasn't as happy as these photos suggest always the same thing about the cancer. To save myself think the same born during World War II Christmas spent the first years of her life in a Nazi -controlled ghetto and would: lesson WebCam back in a safe neighborhood of any two kept in life you have to look and think it gave very little rations. That was a lot of Honda. The woods ghetto pronounced luggage in Yiddish was one of hundreds of Nazi ghettos across Europe used to separate Jews from the rest of the population.

Most residents were sent to concentration camps. Unless disease or starvation killed them first, Abraham Newman, now 94 is also a survivor from the ghetto. I walked to life. You are family at sea since the simple by this family of six kids and parents. Nobody survive when people were taken out of the ghetto and sent to other camps did people think. Well, maybe I'm going to a better place, or did they know what was going to happen the first time when they take outcome to get though you didn't know, because we didn't have no newspaper and no we didn't know where we are going to him what's going on in the world body was thinking maybe a medical little come 240,000 Jews were brought into the woods ghetto.

By the time the war ended fewer than 900 were left the woods ghetto is now the subject of a photography exhibit at the Museum of fine arts, Boston plantation, Kristin Gresh is curator photos by a man named Rick Ross a Polish Jew who lived inside the ghetto as both prisoner and official photographer.

How did he become the official photographer had shown up in the ghetto with a camera and because he had experience and is named one of the official photographers so his job was to do ID photos and also happy photos to show that life was just perfectly normal in this ghetto exact day and he asked countless times. It seems from his fat ass that he was a frantic tail propaganda stories that productivity and but the reality of the ghetto was so horrific, so unfathomable. Ross knew he had to photograph it for the rest of the world to see camera as a weapon as a weapon of resistance and it was chilly and active present tense stick out snapshot or hide somewhere to take photographs. Was he risking his life risking his own life and he was risking his life, Ross demonstrated how he is camera in this 1979 documentary committed to leaving a historical record. Ross eventually put 6000 negatives in a box and buried them himself going to survive and see my miraculous was 177 survivors in January 1945 when the Soviets liberated and went scanner and nine months later he was a protect outreach event and literately on this box of memories 3000 registrants from groundwater and even some of that 3000 that we consider survive is also damaged and you can see the set of visceral effect on some of the negative patient.

The fact that some of the negatives were partially destroyed kind of adds to exhibit really lately it feels that the photographs themselves are imbued with a history of what people where living is very symbolic. Christian Rosenstein went to the exhibit to learn what her family lived through her mother died shortly after the war, and her father refused to talk about. Were you reluctant to go at all because now memories. I wanted to know. I wanted to see because my memories of having I don't remember too much emotion is very very sad and said then we came to the last room, and a whole lot of pictures one after the other and then a familiar face. My father, my mother and myself any pictures. Thought I didn't have believable unbelievable but I believe it. Let's take a miracle happened to me through you. When you select II just couldn't believe it is so much joy and so much sadness at the same time.

On that same wall were Krisha found her family.

Most faces will go unnamed, but because of Henrik Ross.

Not forgotten.

This is about the autumn of life is that hard for you think Bob Schieffer chats with Willie Nelson again today and a slice it.

Sunday morning on CBS and here again is Lee Cowan. When it comes to writing crime fiction, there are fewer written as many volumes as Linda first. She writes what you know former prosecutor herself and the crimes just keep on coming. As Leslie Stahl of 60 Minutes wow you like to work or maybe to work here is something said endearing way to my friend Linda fair Stein is into her second act in life is a best-selling author of crime fiction, you know you wanted to be a mystery writer and who gets to actually have an ambition when they're 10 years old and actually get to live it out and said don't give up your dreams even when people tell you if you hang onto it and find a way to come back to it. It's a great joy.

She did come back to writing. After a long detour. She joined the Manhattan District Attorney's Office right out of law school in 1972 was a sex crime prosecutor in New York City for 30 years, you saw the most gruesome crimes.

Nines raped little kids who were tortured, it's nothing I set out to do and I really terrible world. When I said I fell in love with the work. I loved the ability to do something to try and get justice for women who, because of American law had never been allowed near the courtroom so it was very richly rewarding most days and it was very, very dark, other days top in the field and in the courtroom.

Fair Stein was called hell on heels. She took on the whole system that made it nearly impossible to prosecute someone for rape. When I got to the office in 1972. The law was still so archaic that women reporting rape could not testify unless there are three elements of the crime proved by someone else.

Someone had to either see the attacker going to the crime scene witnessed the crime who witnesses a rape and almost nobody.

So there had to be proof of the forcible nature of the attacks. She was a leader in the drive to change this law and others like it. She also pioneered the use of becoming one of the first prosecutors in the country to introduce it in court. How much of an impact that DNA make on your whole area of sex revolutionized revolutionized the criminal justice system certainly for sexual assault.

If you ever told me that science could do better than the best detectives I've ever worked with. I wouldn't believe, but science did do better. This is the left side of his face is when severe scratch market is another long Mark here with the help of DNA she prosecuted and supervise high profile cases like Robert Chambers, the so-called preppy murderer in the controversial case of the Central Park jogger soon publishers came calling asking her to write a book about sexual violence. She even became the inspiration for many prosecutors on TV like this one also lacerations to the upper and lower extremity objection is foreign bodies lodged in her ears. A fractured femur rations for head chin hands and knees at the nothingness In the mid-1990s Linda fair Stein decided to go back to her original dream she asked the DAs office for permission to write crime fiction and they said to do it on your own time doing it.

The guy had a brush me off is the lady.

Everybody thinks they can write a book, but this lady did. She created a prosecutor Alex Cooper just like her. Hell on heels and wrote five books while she still ran the sex crime unit. She left the DAs office in 2002 and became a full-time prolific novelist.

Her latest deadfall is her 19th in the Alex Cooper series. Keep in mind in 1977 I prosecuted my first high-profile case was a dentist sexually abusing a patient in the chair fair Stein and her partners in crime Harlan Coburn Nelson DeMille and Susan Isaacs at their monthly dinner support group of sorts were successful mystery writers get together and hotshot lazy research going about like airplane repairs. Do you all reach into your personal lives for your characters. Love times. I want to admit it, but a lot of heroes are made with wish fulfillment.

That usually means some some form, but as I've gotten older guys so is everybody eyeballed. When asked how you get every year Linda, why do you do it well. I think because so many of the people I read in respect like I want those characters back I want that voice back and people come to read your books they want to see your characters back to they might go somewhere else. If they don't get them in a timely fashion so this is your oasis you really an oasis, spends her summers here on Martha's Vineyard, as does her character Alex Cooper. This is fair Steins writing cottage from everything and everyone you to commute to have my coffee. I commute down the hill work and I come to look at this is wonderful your main character Alexander Cooper. She you well there was a time when I started writing 19 bucks ago that we were closer. I certainly did. The way I've said many times she's younger than her father and I am she's been 19 books almost a book a year and she's only three years so that would be a nice trick 19. She's always reading about crimes, newspaper clippings, these are clippings and feels pages of notebooks and sticks on post-its with her brainstorms that are often as dark and grisly as the rapes and murders cheese to prosecute.

So we've had shootings strangling suffocation defenestration going out the window. Yes, I'm done poison drowning.

She always sets her crimes in the New York City landmark like Grand Central Station, the American Museum of Natural History, Central Park, I thought it would be more interesting for the reader to learn something about a place and for me the other half is it keeps me very interested.

Each book is new.

It takes me to a new place to learn something I didn't know, she's already researching her next book. Hard to believe she has started a new series this one for young readers 8 to 12 about a Nancy Drew like young detective Devlin quick and that'll come out once a year as well. You are a full-time writer. Now you're living your dream yes yes it came true to myself. It's a dream took to have a career that I wanted all my life. A slice of pie is a lot more than just a baked blend of Christian filling can actually provide a real slice of life are, night and takes a bite several this is where diets all for dessert.

John 2017 national championships. I state high-calorie competition Lando Florida is American as apple pie this year. This woman made the best apple pie in America from kitchen and she was testing out this year's recipes on her friends and family 1990s you like. I'll bet the enterprise in different categories this year. She's racked up so many ribbons over the decades. She's lost track last year you got a second and third year before that. You gotta to first and second year before that you had to first, third member, Charlie is her biggest fan and after years of assisting in the kitchen and drink some of his own pies but the one year he took home a ribbon. The drive home didn't go as well.

Why things happen Driving that pie and wind and menu didn't push them out in the foothills of the Carolina 522. It's only vacation each year. The van taken the kitchen and stuff with ingredients convinced are just better in Wisconsin cream itself unloaded all the rental house and spent days making their way around the new kitchen which is no cakewalk. Devon Davis enjoys a bit of a home of an advantage. He grew up just 30 miles away from the competition the cooking since I was five or so probably my mom was a nervous wreck. She had a meeting in the kitchen. Devon entered his first national pie contest when he was just 14. He won the grand prize now at 21 competes against the pros so much fun because pies are simple in concept but this anything you can do with it.

You can make them complex.

Devon's family is happy to serve as taste testers. Just because something works around the kitchen table. I think I'm the first place. Pies work judging which bite after bite slice after slice. These pallets alone determine the sweet taste of victory Italian cream very knowing what is my C Barry seven picked up an honorable mention for his chocolate pie best in show winner like any hope of money at stake here is entering pie contests for the Joe about the camaraderie, silly apron contest the chance to hang out with people devoted to dessert as you are now fun to get together with all the ideas of what other people came up and when that's just frosting on the cake this past week, 200 great writer. July 12 17 I went to the woods because I wish to live his account of his two years living in a small Side wall near Concord messages you wish to throw said front only the essential facts of see if I cannot learn what had not came to die discover that I book inward reflection as natural observation is inspired generations read and made bold place is remarkably survived as throw some savories popularity as a swimming visited and wrote about other places as well. The main questions pondering this very day to be busy.

Question what we busy next, so why keep doing this. I just like to see the smile on his face and seemed happy to neighbors talking say the words yardwork. Most kids running by the Boyarsky department found.

Can't wait to get his hands dirty. Brian Kelly is just five is already missing the dates he and his dad used to love doing yard work together until last day with his dad, Air Force Capt. Dan Kelly got sent overseas that I'll see you soon and Brian to start only Brian's mom Barbara says it was just a six month appointment, but it still left Brian aimlessly leaf blowing in the wind, counting the days till his dad could come back and do yard work with them again. Neighbor Dean Cravens used to watch them. He knew the boy missed his dad that he didn't know how much until he got a knock at the door know whatever comes our front door.

So like, okay, you can see through the window.

If Brian and I just looked and I could tell he wanted to sit sure maybe around to go. That was eight weeks ago and there has been a door knock virtually every day since.

Yes Mr. Brian took upon himself to adopt me to do the artwork.

They don't cut those off, which is why today. Good find this father figure and son puttering around her yard to Belleville, Illinois back in the clippings while in their care.

By the way Dean does have a day job in IT does have his own family.

He always makes time for Brian. Did you do that every single day. You never sent a backside not never never read for hours at a time. Don't you have other things you should probably so why keep just like to see the smile on his face and seemed happy to. We always talk about supporting the troops for most of us at the commitment that begins and ends bumper sticker, but Dean Craven shows us what it really means to serve those who serve he's just there to help Brian get there in the days filling exactly what is going sometimes yardwork grows a lot more than grass.

You think you'll ever retire.

Think about it after ever to come Willie Nelson and Bob Schieffer together again.

There later 50 years old. Crazy crazy so lonely Sunday morning on CDN and here again is how crazy song he wrote way back in 61. Its popularity endures to this day is willing to spike occasional report to the contrary, this morning to legends Willie Nelson and Bob chief are together again. I woke up still again today, and years something funny it's easy for Willie Nelson greatly exaggerated rumors of his demise. He is on the road writing God's problem child was his 110 take with songs like still not here. This is about the autumn of life is hard deep thinker to Seneca here your he said you should look at death and, saying, the autumn of your life and I'm right there with Insecta springtime anybody else's life.

I mean you are here at the top your powers I would say right here. I think a number life is not how you feel lucky with healthwise careerwise. Everything wasn't always so.

I early on, Nelson left his native Texas for nine made a name for himself writing national like this song singing not so I became so dejected at one point you went out and laid down in the middle Street open in Nashville in Nashville when love traffics no cargo is like wild and crazy one through one relationship after another one, divorce those things that will make you right. So if you're so sure you get your material from all your headaches, Nelson went back to Texas. Changes look changed his last grand a lot more good old spice with a little and with his friend Jennings came a new wall is Nelson honors never 70s at one time. Music records are all the truth matters because it's right right right right when he's not traveling on his was one of the more than 100 show.

Still, Willie splits his time between now where he hangs with friends like Woody and his ranch outside Austin, complete with an old West town name, look there 3000 thanks Phil town for what you brainchild Willie and what is working here a lot of good music which turned out to be real always turn out really nice back taxes he owed Uncle Sam to say you only get from Texas are that they know the federal government $32 but I'm sure you worked it out so why did you ever declare bankruptcy people. Some session these days he's in the cannabis business in places where sleep for myself crazy and play some music back like a girl so I never really say that you married a better man is otherwise no, I did. I got them after after everybody else trained any Nelson is Willy's fourth one been together more than 31 you what's it like Willie Nelson energy is goal is to there's 23 years between us, but I think is goal is to wear me out so that were about the same as for Willie Nelson way to stop wearing out all times. It would last ghetto we just go in and then he said in a very lucky you may get old still 50 years passed since the summer of 1967, which saw urban riots in many large cities, including New York, Newark, New Jersey and Detroit. It is Detroit's violence, however, that is the subject of a new fill. Michelle Miller takes us back to Michael. The story has some language that some may find offensive places. Detroit is a fire 100 square blocks are now undersea people shout from their homes. Watch out for the sniper. It began early one Sunday morning in late July, police raided an unlicensed bar in a black neighborhood in Detroit. A crowd gathered tempers flare.well was in the city. In the midst of all this may was unbelievably in 1967 Mike McKinnon was one of only 100 black police officers on the force of 5500, and Detroit.

I said, my God, this is happening to my city right or unable to. You call this belly not a riot. Why do you call it a rebellion in Detroit. It was clear leading up to it and even during that people were pretty consistent about why they were angry Pulitzer prize-winning historian Heather Thompson black to traders in particular were routinely singled out for abuse for excessive profiling arrests really overall criminalization of black to traders that white traders simply didn't experience.

Please he was used to keep white neighborhoods white. Growing up I McKinnon seen many young black men singled out for abuse at the hands of the police. He was one of them. I was 14 years old by four police officers. They grab me name-calling may proceed to beat me up with a standard operating procedure. This is SOP for these guys.

That evening I made a decision to become a police officer. I want to make sure that those kind of things that happen to me or to other people finding home in 1967 after a long night patrolling Detroit's burning street McKinnon's badge and blue uniform offered no protection white officers pulled me over with their guns drawn, said police officer smiling as I am police officer. I have not slept on the car. The older officer. This gun is a cop. This is a police officer telling another police yes I'm a Kelly that's right sees finger pulling the trigger and as I dove back into my car. He started shooting at me. I hit the accelerator with my right hand.

The steering wheel with my left.

I drove office. He was shooting at that tell you if a person is of that mindset to me. A fellow officer.

What the hell is he going to do for the rest of the people in our city.

43 people died during those five days in Detroit more than a thousand were injured. 2000 buildings destroyed some 400 families left homeless web family came back to what was their home on Harrison Street to salvage what did not burn and try to find a reason for last night's destruction, three teenagers, Carl Cooper, Aubrey Pollard and Fred Temple were among those who died shot to death after police raided the Algiers motel searching for snipers. These boys were simply caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. What happened that night is the subject of the Academy winning Dir. Kathryn Bigelow. It's called Detroit never heard of the Algiers motel. What happened there. Had you know I'd heard of the Detroit riots, but not the Algiers motel. Not this true crime story situation in black and white women dearly need to survive. Tell a tale was stationed and terror spending as much time as you can with eyewitness accounts was probably the single most critical element background. This piece is understanding what you like to be in that hallway is generally a good place melding this new black security guard who was the Algiers in the case of test mixed caught between two worlds, the world of law enforcement in the world of the victim will do you think about that as I think about Costley still works as a security guard to this day have not forgiven him for being the face of the law that night I had to move out of the city because of the threats against me this there were threats against you.

Yes with no postage is just one site, which was the black community.

This was tried for assault in 1968 he was acquitted by an all-white jury. I saw survive, and yet at the same time somebody who is deeply wounded by the event. You could say that it broken in a revocable way you none of the three white police officers at the Algiers that night were convicted of any wrongdoing.

How much do you want the audience to see the collateral damage. These broken men, broken spirits and broken dialogue between two very disparate cultures that need to embrace one another. That's naïve perhaps to say to think that that's possible but I I have to 50 years later the Detroit neighborhoods where the riots raged still not recovered many parts of the city are turning around I McKinnon rose to the rank to become chief of police in 1994 and served as deputy mayor of Detroit until last year where the Algiers motel once stood, there is now an open field. No plaque marks what happened here, something riots something rebellious there will be a marker near the spot where the riot broke out and a newly rebuilt park. The people have to connect to the history understand that the community activist Marla Stoudamire coming to terms with what took place here 50 years ago, is the only way for the city to heal were really going to move forward we have to deal with race.

We have to deal with neighborhoods we have to deal with you and we have to deal with economic inclusion, opportunity Detroit as a bellwether city historian Heather Thompson. Every city in some respects and asked why 67 matter is why it matters that we get it right. What happened and that's why it matters that we look at to try carefully today we count for joining us this Sunday morning.

Will see again next week. Drew Barrymore all my goodness, I want to tell you about our new shout to his knees and each episode, weekly, gastric and other quirky find inspiring and informative stories that exist because well maybe you do too.

I'm trying to be quire to the right and wrong way to flasher also getting the things that you just kind of well probably not able to do in daytime television so watch out is what ever you get your podcast on the
